Tasting Notes

Aroma

Dark black and red berry fruits, graphite, new leather, smoke, spice, and the smell of the sea.

Palate

The 2021 is a very hedonistic wine seemingly fruit forward and rich but there are layers of complexity that reveal themselves as you journey through the bottle, layers of aroma and flavour and of structure; acidity, warmth, tannin and a paradoxical freshness that ebbs and flow throughout the tasting experience.

Vinification

As always, the vineyards are dry farmed, hand harvested and each parcel fermented and aged separately for an extended period, 30 days in vat and 2 years in barrel.

Cellaring Potential

A wine that will cellar incredibly well.

Vintage Notes

Vintage 2021 was exceptional with moderate crops enjoying long periods of dry weather with occasional rainfall to keep the vine canopy in good condition for a long ripening into late Autumn.

    A solid red with blackcurrant, chocolate and cedar character as well as touches of tobacco and vanilla. It’s medium-bodied with creamy tannins. Lightly chewy. Another two years will make it even better. But it’s all there and not overdone in any way. Drink from 2026. Points: 93/100
